Résumé
Jacobs tried for a year to observe the Bible's 700-odd rules for righteous behaviour - he let his beard grow, wore only garments made of unmixed fibres, prayed regularly, ate some things but not others. He also queried members of… such strict sects as the Amish, the Samaritans, and snake-handling Pentecostals. Jacobs experienced a spiritual awakening of sorts, and revealed the scriptural selectiveness practiced by even the most zealous fundamentalists. Some descriptions of sex. 2008, c2007.
